Installation

Warning

Do not install the product unless the safety instructions have been read and understood.

Environment

Warning

Do not use in an environment where corrosive gases, chemicals, salt water, or steam are present.
Do not use it in an explosive atmosphere.
Do not expose to direct sunlight. Use a suitable protective cover.
Do not install in a location subject to vibration or impact in excess of the product’s specifications.
Do not operate in a location exposed to radiant heat that would result in temperatures in excess of the product’s specifications.

Piping

Caution

Before connecting piping is sure to clean up chips, cut oil, dust, etc.
When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not enter inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1 thread exposed on the end of the pipe/fitting.
Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.

Lubrication

Caution

SMC products have been lubricated for life at manufacture, and do not require lubrication in service.
If a lubricant is to be used in the system, refer to the catalog for details.

Settings

Initial Setting

Perform the initial setting when using for the first time and after changing the batteries, as the unit will display a memory data error.

Confirmation of display
When power is applied, if there is nothing on the display, proceed to step 2.
If “Err” Is displayed on the LCD, switch the power OFF and ON again. The display should be clear.
Proceed to step 2.
Press and hold the POWER button for 6 seconds or more.
The unit will move into the zero-clear mode. When this happens “CAL” will be displayed.
Release the POWER button.
When zero clear is finished, the unit will operate.

Power ON

Press the POWER button.
The power will turn ON.
When pressed and held for 6 seconds or more the unit will move into zero-clear mode.

Power OFF

Press and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds or more.

The power will turn OFF.
The power will also turn OFF If there is no button operation for 5 minutes or more (auto power OFF function).

Units Display Switching

SMC PPA100 Compact Manometer AR Regulator - Units Display1

SMC PPA100 Compact Manometer AR Regulator - Units Display2

Press and hold the POWER and LIGHT buttons for 3 seconds or more.
The units on the LCD display will flash.
Press the LIGHT button The units will change (refer to the units table).
Press the POWER button The units are set and the units display setting is complete.
(For products with units switching function).

Units available

High pressure (PPA100)	Vacuum pressure (PPA101)	Low pressure (PPA102)
MPa > bar > psi > kgf	kPa > bar > psi ^>inHg > mmHg	kPa > bar > psi > kgf

Peak / Bottom display

Press the POWER button.

For Peak display
To display the maximum pressure value, with “P” displayed on the LCD. The display will change if the pressure exceeds the pressure being held.

Press the POWER button.

For Bottom display
To display the minimum pressure value, with “b” displayed on the LCD. The display will change if the pressure falls below the pressure being held.
Press the POWER to complete the setting.

Since this function is combined with the power OFF operation, the button should be released when the “P” or “b” is displayed.

Auto Power OFF function

The power is turned OFF when there has been no button operation for 5 minutes.
(To cancel this function refer to the lock mode function below).

Lock mode function

Press and hold the POWER and LIGHT buttons for 6 seconds or more.

The lock mode is activated and the auto power OFF function is canceled.
“L” is displayed on the LCD display.
When the power is turned OFF the lock mode is released.

Turning ON the Backlight

Press the LIGHT button.
The display lights up when the button is pressed.
In lock mode, it lights up when pressed and turns OFF when pressed again.
However, the maximum lighting time is approximately one minute.

Zero clear function

Press the POWER button for 6 seconds or more.

The zero displayed at atmospheric pressure can be automatically adjusted.
This means it is possible to eliminate a display discrepancy at atmospheric pressure.

Turn the power OFF.
Release the supply pressure to the atmosphere.
When the POWER button is pressed and held for 6 seconds or more the zero clear function is performed and “CAL” is displayed on the LCD.

Maintenance

General maintenance

Caution

Not following proper maintenance procedures could cause the product to malfunction and lead to equipment damage.
If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Maintenance of pneumatic systems should be performed only by qualified personnel.
Before performing maintenance, turn off the power supply and be sure to cut off the supply pressure. Confirm that the air is released into the atmosphere.
After installation and maintenance, apply operating pressure and power to the equipment and perform appropriate functional and leakage tests to make sure the equipment is installed correctly.
If any electrical connections are disturbed during maintenance, ensure they are reconnected correctly and safety checks are carried out as required to ensure continued compliance with applicable national regulations.
Do not make any modifications to the product.
Do not disassemble the product, unless required by installation or maintenance instructions.

Span calibration

Warning

Do not touch the span calibration trimmer except when performing a span calibration.

Perform zero clear at atmospheric pressure.
Apply the maximum rated pressure and calibrate the span while comparing it with a standard pressure gauge.
If the displayed value of the compact manometer is “0” after returning to atmospheric pressure, then calibration is complete.

If the displayed value is not “0” calibrate again by repeating steps 1 and 2.

Replacing the batteries

When the battery voltage becomes low the entire LCD display will flash.
When the LCD is flashing, replace the batteries.
Use 2 x AA dry cell batteries.

Caution

To replace the batteries, turn OFF the power and replace them within approximately 30 seconds.
If not completed within 30 seconds “Err” will be displayed.
In that case, perform zero clear once again.
In the event that the display runs out of control, remove the batteries for one minute or longer and then perform zero clear again before inserting the batteries and turning ON the power.
